Bed Wood (Almost) Removed!
After finding a cro-bar and prying the old bed wood out, I'm almost ready to remove the chrome (Or what is now rust) strips!

Re: Bed Wood (Almost) Removed!
Easier way would have been to unbolt the strips 1st.

Might be less work to tighten them so they shear off.

Re: Bed Wood (Almost) Removed!
if you have the space and a few extra hands, take the 8 bolts that hold the whole bed and take the bed off, then stand it up right and remove the bolts, or cus, get dirt and debris in ur eyes and wish you had like i did when i removed my wooden bed strips still on the truck!!!

Re: Bed Wood (Almost) Removed!
Don't bother with wrenches, just use a cut off wheel on a grinder. You'll have it done in twenty minutes. For sure, if you're going to remove the bed anyways, take it off, stand it up. Really easy to work that way. At least put it on a couple sawhorses or four stands.

Re: Bed Wood (Almost) Removed!
Most the bed strips look salvageable to me. I'd use a grinder as jayoldschool said or a reciprocating saw and reinstall with new bolts.

Re: Bed Wood (Almost) Removed!
I had to take mine off and stand it up like was said before. I also took the wheel wells out and replaced those bolts while I was at it.
